Many comments with numbers of insureds fail to distinguish among (or to count) the various categories, such as Federal exchange, state exchanges, private non-exchange, expanded Medicaid, adult children under age 26, etc. enrollments. Enrollments attributable to the PPACA are not limited to those processed by the Federal exchange.

Unfortunately the owner of the company I work for is a nutcase libertarian, thus he offers little in the way of benefits provided by the company. I now have health insurance thanks to the ACA, there is also the added benefit of laughing inside while I listen to him gripe about how he 'has to buy insurance now' while not realizing he was one of the deadbeat drains on the system who irresponsibly has 5 children and no health insurance.
